10 Reasons Why Owning Physical Gold Is The Ultimate Way Of Investing In Precious Metals

As explain by Mike Maloney in his book "Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver", here are the 10 reasons why he think that owning the physical gold and silver is the ultimate way of investing in these precious metals.

1. For 5,000 years, gold and silver have been the only assets that have never failed. Because they are tangible assets of inherent value their purchasing power will never fall to zero. 
2. They are financial assets that can be completely private and not part if the financial system. Even real estate requires the financial system to transfer title. Gold and silver do not. 
3. They are one of the few financial assets that are not simultaneously someone else's liability. Stocks, bonds, and derivatives like futures and ETFs require the performance of the issuer or counterparty. Even cash requires the performance of the government that issues it to have value. If a government fails, so does its currency. Gold and silver never fail. 
4. They can be wholly owned. You can never really own real estate for instance; if you think you can, just try not paying your property taxes for a few years. 
5. They are safe-heaven investments that rise during economic upheavel, war, terrorism, and natural disaster. 
6. They have a proven track record of performing well in infltion and deflation. 
7. They have a high value density. That means that, unlike copper or oil, a very small amount of gold or silver provides significant purchasing power. 
8. They have a low bid/ask spread, unlike diamonds or collector coins, which can carry a 15 percent to 100 percent spread. 
9. Every ounce has the same value. Every diamond or collector coin, on the other hand, is different and requires an expert to assess the value. 
10. Physical gold and silver are money in and of themselves. 

So what stopping you from owning the physical gold? Think again, act now.

Note:
Mike Maloney is the precious metal investor advisor to Robert Kiyosaki since 2005. He has been specialized in gold and silver investment education since 2002 and has had a privilege of interacting with influential government and economic leaders, such as Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul.He is the founder of Gold & Silver Inc and GoldSilver.com

Gold is a dense, soft, shiny, malleable and ductile metal. It is a chemical element with the symbol Au and atomic number 79.

Gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidizing in air or water. Chemically, gold is atransition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements solid under standard conditions. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, usually with tellurium.

Gold resists attacks by individual acids, but it can be dissolved by the aqua regia (nitro-hydrochloric acid), so named because it dissolves gold. Gold also dissolves in alkaline solutions of cyanide, which have been used in mining. Gold dissolves in mercury, forming amalgam alloys. Gold is insoluble in nitric acid, which dissolves silver and base metals, a property that has long been used to confirm the presence of gold in items, giving rise to the term the acid test.

Gold has been a valuable and highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since long before the beginning of recorded history. Gold standards have been the most common basis for monetary policies throughout human history^{[citation needed]}, being widely supplanted by fiat currency starting in the 1930s. The last gold certificate and gold coin currencies were issued in the U.S. in 1932. In Europe, most countries left the gold standard with the start of World War I in 1914 and, with huge war debts, failed to return to gold as a medium of exchange.

A total of 165,000 tonnes of gold have been mined in human history, as of 2009.^[2] This is roughly equivalent to 5.3 billion troy ounces or, in terms of volume, about 8500 m³, or a cube 20.4 m on a side. The world consumption of new gold produced is about 50% in jewelry, 40% in investments, and 10% in industry.^[3]

Besides its widespread monetary and symbolic functions, gold has many practical uses in dentistry, electronics, and other fields. Its highmalleability, ductility, resistance to corrosion and most other chemical reactions, and conductivity of electricity led to many uses of gold, includingelectric wiring, colored-glass production and even gold leaf eating.

It has been claimed that most of the Earth's gold lies at its core, the metal's high density having made it sink there in the planet's youth. Virtually all of the gold that mankind has discovered is considered to have been deposited later by meteorites which contained the element.^{[4][5][6][7][8]}
